This week the Loaf Love Tour is pullin’ into Austin, Texas and I couldn’t be more excited! Austin is one of the cities I’ve been most excited to visit on this year’s tour schedule. As a Portland native, I’ve heard great things about Austin, especially that it is similar to my own lovely hometown. A few of my Oregonian friends have even made the move to Austin and have passed along praise about the city. Getting to check out new places is a huge perk while working on the road.

But I have a secret… I actually cheated and got a sneak peak of Austin a couple weeks ago when two of my fellow Loaf Love coworkers and I had a Saturday off. We drove down to Austin to check out the last day of the South By Southwest music festival, and it was awesome! There were people everywhere and live music billowing out of every door we walked by. There was so much to see, hear and take in. Everything and everyone was so cool! The great day in Austin only made me that much more excited to get to spend more time there starting this week!

I’m also looking forward to visiting some of the fabulous restaurants in the area and hopefully I’ll get the chance to try the tasty Tillamook grilled cheese sandwiches offered at a few local eateries as part of our Grilled Cheese Week. If you have any recommendations for must-see’s or must-do’s in Austin, come on by and let me know! Try some of our tasty cheeses while you’re at it!
